A stunning late 19th-century Villeroy & Boch Schramberg majolica 11.75" charger featuring a wonderfully whimsical folklore scene with charming woodland fairies. The combination of vibrant pink and rich teal glazes, accented by naturalistic relief and additional earthy tones, gives this exceptional piece an almost storybook quality. Condition notes, visible paint loss and minor hairline as pictured, often consistent with antique majolica.

The Schramberg factory in Germany became known for its richly glazed, highly dimensional earthenware during the late 19th century. Figural and folklore-inspired designs were particularly captivating during the Victorian era, reflecting the period's fascination with woodland creatures, fairies, gnomes, and other fantastical subjects.
